I'm currently writing a 2,000 word essay on Disney; and there's a lot about the films which would make people very uncomfortable, if they were willing to think about it.

Hm, I'd disagree. I'm not going to start harping on about how awful Disney Corporation is though, for fear of boring you all to death.

i'd be well interested, if you can be bothered/fancy giving me some links or something.

ps it must say a lot about my personality if i'm actually willing to let you do what would bore most other people to death.

don't worry, I perked up when I saw someone was interested. I really love cultural theory  

The four main problems with most Disney movies are; a tendency to homogenize, a tendency to americanize, a tendency towards sexism and a tendency towards racism. This wouldn't be so awful if Disney Corp. didn't set its films up with the intention of moral education - Disney films are without fail stories about good struggling against evil, about conformists struggling to defeat non-conformists, about men and women in traditional gender roles fighting to overcome men and women in non-traditional roles. And with Disney's tendencies towards racism, sexism, americanization and homogenization - their views and represtantions of good and evil are slightly warped, and in turn so is the moral imperatives they teach.

The Oxford Companion to Fairy Tales, Jack Zipes' Fairy Tale as Myth/Myth and Fairy Tale and From Mouse to Mermaid by Elizabeth Bell are all excellent resources for further reading
